Horologium Augusti

I went by myself to the Pantheon as Sara had been when I had a migraine the other day. I listened to a Rick Steves podcast explaining its history which was pretttyy interesting. I really liked the symmetry of this architecture. The fact that the Dome roof was the same diameter as the cylinder bottom of the building just like a ball in a basket where the halfway of the ball fits perfectly in the baskets rim and the bottom of the ball would touch the ground only just (I hope that makes sense) and that the big engravings on the dome were always perfectly in line with the big arch parts where peoples graves were was immaculately satisfying. I went in the morning so wasn’t too busy but a good time to see the light shine in through the hole in the roof (from heaven). It shone on the 4th and 5th last pictures and the light shining down made the angel look pretty (the artist really new her angles). I tried to stand closer to her (there was a rope so I couldn’t go too far) to get some of that holy light on me and I think it may have reached the top of my hair🥰😇

Here I have also included a nice jewellery shop, some gelato with Emiliano where we actually finally got our hands on some mint choc chip 🤤👌🤌
Sara apparently misses the Australian sharks so has become one. No, I have not been able to convince her to wear this masterpiece out. But, thinking about it, I don’t know if I want her to 🤓😬🤘Read more
